HE  unavoidable  delay  in  the  issue  of  my  “ Book  of 


Carnegie  Libraries,”  and  the  fact  that  the  illustra- 
tions had  been  completed  some  time  since,  must  be  the 
excuse  for  issuing  these  plates  in  advance  of  the  book  itself, 
which  will  contain  both  text  and  illustrations.  As  the  text 
of  the  book  will  by  no  means  be  confined  to  the  subject 
matter  of  the  illustrations,  and  there  are  doubtless  those  to 
whom  the  illustrations  will  appeal  more  strongly  than  the 
historical  and  descriptive  letterpress,  it  was  thought  expe- 
dient to  issue  the  Portfolio  at  this  time  for  the  especial 
benefit  of  such  as  are  more  particularly  interested  in  the 
architectural  side  of  the  subject.  It  was  thought,  more- 
over, that  the  portfolio  style,  with  the  loose  plates,  would 
be  found  more  acceptable  than  the  book  form  by  those 
making  a comparative  study  of  library  designs. 

There  are  a few  illustrations  in  the  collection  which  are 
not  architectural,  but  have  been  included  here  because  of 
their  appearance  in  the  book.  Such  are  the  views  of  home 
library  groups,  travelling  libraries,  library  clubs,  and  a few 
portraits  of  Mr.  Carnegie  and  of  Colonel  Anderson,  from 
whose  Library  Institute  Mr.  Carnegie  borrowed  books  as 
a boy  and  so  conceived  the  initial  idea  of  his  library 
crusade.

LIST  OF  PLATES 


Note.  — The  figures  in  parentheses  give  the  amount  of  Mr.  Carnegie’s  donation  to  the 
various  town  and  city  libraries  included  in  the  list.  In  some  cases  the  cost  of  the  building 
exceeded  this  amount  and  the  difference  was  paid  from  other  sources.  The  money  for  the 
branch  libraries  of  the  larger  cities  was  given  as  a lump  sum,  and  the  cost  of  the  separate 
branches  is  therefore  not  given  in  the  subjoined  list.  The  names  of  the  architects  are  given 
in  italics.
